Trinbago Knight Riders Women vs Guyana Amazon Warriors Women, Final The summit clash of the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2026 pits league-stage toppers Trinbago Knight Riders Women against a red-hot Guyana Amazon Warriors Women side that has knocked out the defending champions to reach the final. With a dominant head-to-head record and momentum on their side, the Warriors will be confident, but the Knight Riders have the firepower to turn the tide on the night.
Kensington Oval has produced competitive T20 contests this tournament, with an average first-innings score around 125. The surface generally offers something for both batters and bowlers: new-ball seam early on, then spinners coming into play as the ball grips and turns. Teams winning the toss have often preferred to bowl first, especially under lights, to exploit early movement and then chase with clarity.
Weather in Bridgetown is forecast to be partly sunny with high humidity (~88%) and temperatures near 29°C. Rain probability is elevated (around 94% in some models), so a shortened game or DLS scenarios can’t be ruled out; both sides will need to be ready for tactical shifts if overs are reduced.
This final is a clash of styles and momentum. Trinbago finished top of the four-team table (2 wins, 1 loss; NRR +1.016) and earned a direct berth to the final, while Guyana ended second (2–1; NRR +0.475) and then beat Barbados Tridents Women in the Eliminator to surge into the decider. For TKR-W, it’s about converting league-stage consistency into a title; for GAW-W, it’s about finishing a strong late run and avenging any past final heartbreaks.

Current Form & Momentum
Trinbago Knight Riders Women (TKR-W):
TKR-W opened with a win over Barbados Tridents Women, then lost to Jamaica Women before rebounding with two victories to seal top spot. Their most recent league game was a 25-run loss to Guyana (GAW-W 119/8; TKR-W 94/9), where Shabnim Ismail (3/21) and Shamillia Connell (2/12) starred with the ball. Still, Trinbago’s ability to post and defend totals, plus their all-round depth, makes them dangerous on their day.
Guyana Amazon Warriors Women (GAW-W):
Guyana lost their opener but then won three straight, including a crucial league-stage win over Trinbago and a clinical Eliminator win over Barbados (75/3 in 7.2 overs chasing 70). Their bowling unit has been tight in the middle overs, and their top order has shown it can reset quickly after early setbacks. Momentum is clearly with the Warriors heading into Bridgetown’s showpiece.

Team Analysis
Trinbago Knight Riders Women
Strengths:
-
Explosive top/middle order with Deandra Dottin and Marizanne Kapp capable of changing games in short bursts.
-
Quality spin options (Shikha Pandey, Jahzara Claxton, Karishma Ramharack) to control the middle and finish tight.
-
Experience in high-pressure Caribbean finals.
Weaknesses:
-
Recent loss to Guyana showed vulnerability against disciplined seam-up and cutters on this surface.
-
If early wickets fall, the middle can get stuck against spin.
Key Players:
-
Deandra Dottin (c): Power-hitting and big-match temperament.
-
Marizanne Kapp: Two-way impact; can bat through and bowl crucial overs.
-
Shikha Pandey: Leading wicket-taker for TKR-W in the tournament (5 wickets in 3 games); excels with the new ball and at the death.
Guyana Amazon Warriors Women
Strengths:
-
Balanced attack with pace (Ismail, Connell) and spin (Munisar, Burns) that has consistently choked runs in the middle.
-
Top-order resilience: Shemaine Campbelle has been the tournament’s leading run-scorer (145 runs in 4 games).
-
Strong recent form: three consecutive wins entering the final.
Weaknesses:
-
Can be susceptible if early breakthroughs don’t come against TKR-W’s power hitters.
-
Dependence on Campbelle for anchoring; if she’s removed early, the chase/build can slow.
Key Players:
-
Shemaine Campbelle (wk): Run machine this season; can bat deep and accelerate.
-
Shabnim Ismail: Match-winner with the ball (3/21 vs TKR-W in league stage).
-
Chloe Tryon (c) / Nadine de Klerk: Power-hitting and handy overs when required.
Probable Playing XIs
Probable XI: Laura Harris, Deandra Dottin (c), Marizanne Kapp, Madeline Penna, Jannillea Glasgow, Sushma Verma (wk), Shikha Pandey, Jahzara Claxton, Karishma Ramharack, Samara Ramnath, Brianna Harricharan
Probable XI: Eboni Brathwaite, Tazmin Brits, Erin Burns, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Nadine de Klerk, Chloe Tryon (c), Chedean Nation, Realeanna Grimmond, Shabnim Ismail, Sheneta Grimmond, Shamilia Connell
Given the conditions at Kensington Oval and the Warriors’ superior head-to-head record, Guyana Amazon Warriors Women edge this final. Their bowling unit has already dismissed Trinbago for 94 this tournament, and their top order has shown it can chase or set competitive totals under pressure. That said, if Dottin and Kapp fire together and Pandey strikes early, Trinbago can absolutely flip the script. On balance: Guyana Amazon Warriors Women to win, especially if they bowl first and restrict TKR-W to around 120–135.
